Class is out, no more essays or grades! Bring on the summer and all the glorious movies! Summer is when the biggest blockbuster films debut. In recent years we’ve been met with comicbook-superhero flicks like The Avengers and The Dark Knight. This year is no different. These are the movies I’m really excited for, and you should be excited too!

The Great Gatsby, directed by Baz Luhrmann (Romeo + Juliet) and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is an adaptation of the classic novel from F. Scott Fitzgerald. You were forced to read it in high school and now it’s even cooler because Jay-Z produced the official soundtrack!

Iron Man 3is the last solo film for Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and it’s certainly the best Iron Man movie yet. The humor is there but what sticks out most is Tony’s psychological and emotional state after the events in last year’s The Avengers. It’s big, fun and packs more emotional punches than the last films; a MUST SEE!

Star Trek: Into Darknessmakes the Star Trek franchise even cooler this time around with the return of Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Benedict Cumberbatch as the villainous Khan. Director J.J. Abrams brings the flare and style to one of the best movies this summer – the film currently holds an 8.3 rating on IMDb.

Fast & Furious 6is the return of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker as drivers, alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson among the star-studded cast. These movies aren’t about street racing anymore but instead, but don’t worry, there are still lots and lots of cars and explosions.

Man of Steelis the movie I’m excited for most. Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) and produced by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy), it stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. Man of Steel is the origin story of Superman and this time around, it’s grittier and rooted in reality more so than before. There’s no dorky, red underwear and unlike 2006’s Superman: Returns, in which Man of Steel has no connection, we’ll get to see ‘Supes’ punch the crap out of bad guys. I’m calling it right now, this will be the best movie this summer. WHY HAVEN’T YOU ALREADY BOUGHT YOUR TICKETS?!

Monsters Universityis a prequel to the original Monsters Inc. that shows us what it was like during college for Mike and Sulley. Judging from the trailer below, there’s plenty of nods to the college life as we know it. The film should be a great time for everybody.

Turbolooks amazing. A story about a snail that is given the powers of super speed. The story is typically crazy and fun and with the likes of Samuel L. Jackson and Snoop Dogg alongside Ryan Reynolds and Michelle Rodriguez, it should be a sleeper hit.

And that’s it! Those are some of the movies I’m looking forward to most. Honorable mentions include Despicable Me 2, Epic, After Earth, World War Z. What about you? What are you most excited to see this summer? What have you already seen? Let us know in the comments below!
